  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Wait... can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.

    That's because their monitors cost $2k

    [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

    They are computers. So yes.

    The M1 macbooks only support 1 external monitor natively lmao

    [–] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    There are issues with Macs and multiple monitors, but one thing they do great is that they can easily support multiple monitors with different dpi settings and refresh rates (including variable refresh rates), which turns into a big pain in the ass to get right in Linux.

    Look at this guy, never used wayland before

    [–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

    Wayland on Nvidia is finally getting to that "bit quirky but overall awesome" point, and it feels like my PC just got a major upgrade without switching any hardware. Absolutely buttery smooth 144hz and I love it. Plus no more having to block compositing to use my creative stuff like Blender and Krita smoothly! :D. Ride, hardware, ride!!!! HIYAH!!

    The M1/2/3 Pro, Max, & Ultra chips all support multiple displays. It’s just the base model chip that doesn’t.

    [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

    M3 MacBook Air supports two external screens if you close the lid.

    If you get one big monitor (extra wide) that’s all you need

    [–] graymess@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

    Macs are used in a lot of "creative" industries and professionals tend to benefit from multiple monitors. Every editor I've known cuts on a Mac with at least two monitors.

    [–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

    It’s like the same meme about developers.

    In this format there’s usually a single column that is the core and everything else is an assumption.

    In the developers meme designers are children eating paint because the column of truth is for software devs.

    ...macintoshes have featured native multihead support since at least 1987...

    [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I’m the weirdo who regularly uses all three. I think a lot of Mac people use one screen because MacOS has better desktop switching than the other two OS, especially if you’re using a trackpad. I personally use two screens but have used as many as three.

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

    MacOS has better desktop switching than the other two OS

    Can you elaborate on this? As a tiling WM user, I feel as if I can confidently challenge this assertion.

    [–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

    I'm using 3 on my M1, so... * shrug *

    [–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

    Yep.

    [–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    I have three monitors in addition to my main iMac screen, coupling that with their extremely clean desktop switching has me by the balls until Wayland is fully working with Nvidia(if it’s not already, I admittedly am not paying attention until I stop getting OS updates)
